John Bunyan (1628-1688) John Bunyan was born near Bedford in 1628. His mother died when he was 16, and his father remarried within two months of her death. Young John and his new stepmother did not get along well, which caused Bunyan to join the army. He married at the age of 20, and his new wife (who would die soon after), and the two good books she brought into the marriage with her, helped influence Bunyan, who at that time had a reputation as one of the most profane swearers in the area. He began reading Paul's epistles, but true regeneration had not yet taken place, for Bunyan considered that no man in England was as pleasing to God as he was. Later he would describe himself as the worst of pharisees, and wrote of his conversion in the well-known book Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners . He joined the local non-conformist church, and became a deacon. In 1657 his preaching gifts became apparent, and upon the death of the minister the church asked him to exercise those gifts. He was roundly criticized for his lack of education in theological matters, but locals flocked to hear "the blasphemous tinker turned preacher." Bunyan was imprisoned on several occasions for continuing to preach after the non-conformists were ejected in 1662. He could have preached privately in homes, but felt that public preaching was the most encouraging to his brethren, and for that conviction spent years in prison. Bunyan was well acquainted with the learned John Owen, who once remarked that he would give up all his learning to have Bunyan's ability to reach the heart.

Bunyan was born in 1628 near Bedford, in the agricultural midlands of England. He was the son of a tinker (a maker and mender of metal pots). He had little schooling. During the English Civil War, he served in the Parliamentary Army. He underwent a period of acute spiritual anxiety, and finally found peace in a Baptist congregation. He became a lay preacher, while earning his living as a tinker. After the Restoration in 1660, Bunyan (under suspicion for having fought on the anti-Anglican side) was ordered to preach no more, and, since he refused to desist, he was several times sentenced to jail, where he spent his time studying, preaching to his fellow prisoners, and writing. His first substantial work was an autobiography, Grace Abounding To the Chief of Sinners. This was followed by other works, of which by far the most read and most loved is his The Pilgrim's Progress From This World To That Which Is To Come, usually called Pilgrim's Progress. The work recounts in allegorical form the experience of a person (called Christian), from his his first awareness of his sinfulness and spiritual need, to his personal conversion to Christ, to his walk as a believer. He is shown as a pilgrim in this world on his way to the "Celestial City," which will be his true home forever. The work was an immediate sensation, and its popularity endured. For a century and more thereafter, there were many English-speaking Christians who were thoroughly familiar with only two books, The Bible and Pilgrim's Progess.

[From the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed.] JOHN BUNYAN by Thomas Babington Macaulay [Macaulay apparently bore no ill will against Britannica from the days of his dispute with James and John Stuart Mill over the former's writings for the Supplement. For the Eighth Edition (1852-60) he wrote a number of biographies, each a work of high literary merit.] BUNYAN, John, the most popular religious writer in the English language, was born at Elstow, about a mile from Bedford, in the year 1628. He may be said to have been born a tinker. The tinkers then formed a hereditary caste, which was held in no high estimation. They were generally vagrants and pilferers, and were often confounded with the gipsies, whom in truth they nearly resembled. Bunyan's father was more respectable than most of the tribe. He had a fixed residence, and was able to send his son to a village school where reading and writing were taught. At one time he took it into his head that all persons of Israelite blood would be saved, and tried to make out that he partook of that blood; but his hopes were speedily destroyed by his father, who seems to have had no ambition to be regarded as a Jew. At another time Bunyan was disturbed by a strange dilemma: "If I have not faith, I am lost; if I have faith, I can work miracles." He was tempted to cry to the puddles between Elstow and Bedford, "Be ye dry," and to stake his eternal hopes on the event.

John Bunyan 1628-88, Christ's soldier, Part 1

John Bunyan's book "The Pilgrim's Progress" has achieved lasting fame and world wide recognition, being translated into over two hundred languages by the present day. The great popularity of his story of Christian's journey to the Celestial City has tended to over-shadow his other writings and his faithful work as a preacher of the gospel. A study of Bunyan's life however, reveals a gracious example of God's dealings in bringing him to faith in Christ, in upholding him through long years of imprisonment and in making a fruitful servant whose testimony has challenged, convicted, encouraged and comforted a continuing number of people down through the intervening years.

Early Life

Although the exact date of Bunyan's birth is not known, he was baptised on 30 November 1628 at the parish church in Elstow, a small village of less than seventy houses about a mile south of Bedford. His family had lived in the area for several centuries and Bunyan's father was the local brazier or tinker', an occupation which was often scorned and derided. Bunyan's writings contain references to his lowly origins but little is known of his childhood or his education. Apart from expressing his gratitude that his parents kept him at school until he could read and write, and a brief reference to attending a "grammar school in my minority." Bunyan's only other statement about his education is short but illuminating - "l did soon lose the bit I learnt......long before the Lord did His gracious work of conversion upon my soul."

(), "... to be a pilgrim", song John Bunyan, the author of the "Pilgrim's Progress", was born at Elstow, near Bedford, in 1628. The Bunyan family had been settled in that country since the beginning of the thirteenth century. Thomas Bunyan, his father, was a "brazier", or tinker, and John was brought up to his father's trade. But after his mother's death in 1644, he enlisted in the army; probably on the side of the Parliament, but as to this there is no direct evidence. In 1646 the army was disbanded; but before that Bunyan had passed through an experience which had left a lasting mark on him. "When I was a soldier," he says, "I with others were drawn out to go to such a place to besiege it; but when I was just ready to go one of the company desired to go in my room, to which when I had consented, he took my place; and coming to the siege, as he stood sentinel he was shot into the head with a musket bullet and died." Shortly after this Bunyan married, but nothing is known of his wife's family. With her, Bunyan talked of religion, and read in two books which he names: "The Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven", by Arthur Dent (first published in 1601), and "The Practice of Piety (1612). During the four years he went through a terrible spiritual struggle. In speaking of himself afterwards, he describes himself as the worst of sinners; but the only wickedness in which he is known to have indulged is "swearing, lying, and blaspheming", and from coarser vices he seems to have been free. The fury of his spiritual struggle, and the darkness of his own description of himself, both were due to the strength and depth of his own nature. At last it ended. Those who wish to know how Bunyan came to the light should read his own wonderful story of it.
